Cacao Retreat and Sound Journey

Duration: 10 days

Overview: Cacao has been considered the food of the gods for her uplifting and healing properties and for centuries Mayans have been embracing her spirit with devotion and ecstasy. The Cacao Retreat aims to introduce this wonderful plant to interns with a strong desire of self-exploration and an interest in ethnobotany and indigenous cultures. During the 10-day immersion, several learning methods are used to understand the power of cacao and sound healing. We learn how to naturally ferment the beans and prepare the brew with the ancient Maya recipe along with a one week retreat in the forest and the use of healing sounds enabling the interns to experience the real ecstasy of cacao.
